For questions 21 – 27, mark A, B or C on your answer sheet. The Fishing Competition My name’s Leon and I’ve known my friend, Bernie, since I was eleven. We’re both fifteen now and enjoy fishing and swimming in the river together. For me, fishing’s a hobby, but it’s more than that for Bernie. He fishes in competitions, and he’s really good at it. Two months ago, Bernie asked me to join his team for a fishing competition. I decided to do it. I had six weeks to practise for the competition, which happened last week. So I went fishing when I could, usually all weekend. I help on a farm on Fridays, and I study after school Monday to Thursday for some exams I’ve got next month. Bernie showed me the places in the river that fish usually like, for example around a fallen tree. But I got my biggest fish under a bridge, and Bernie caught a big one by a broken boat. The morning of the competition arrived, and we started fishing. Nothing happened for two hours, but then I pulled in my first competition fish! We fished until the end of the day, but no-one caught a fish heavier than mine. Bernie and the team were pleased with my fish and we won tenth place out of twenty-four teams. Bernie hopes to win a competition soon, but one was enough for me. I prefer to fish for fun. 5 Compact Key for Schools Practice Test © Cambridge University Press 2014 PHOTOCOPIABLE Example: 0 Bernie is A older than Leon. B the same age as Leon. C younger than Leon.
